| • | There is consensus amongst linguists that Valencian is the name for the Catalan language which is spoken in the Land of Valencia, Spain. It is thus the official name for one of two co-official languages declared in the Valencian Statute of Autonomy: Valencian (Catalan) and Castilian (Spanish). The word is also used to refer to the dialect of this territory to differentiate it from Catalan language as a whole, or from the Catalan of Barcelona. In this sense it can be considered a dialect of the Western Catalan variety (Bloc occidental -see for more details Catalan language-), which also includes the varieties of La Franja, Andorra, Lleida province and the south-half of Tarragona province. For many in the Land of Valencia, the use of the term is a statement of belief in the idea that there is a language called Valencian which is quite separate from Catalan. This belief, is supported by linguistic fact. Source: [wikipedia: valencian] |
